Description

The Certified Malware Analyst course is an advanced training program that delves into practical malware analysis techniques, emphasizing the understanding and dissection of sophisticated malware and exploit kits.

This course is ideal for cybersecurity professionals who already have a basic understanding of malware and want to advance their skills in analyzing and responding to malware threats.

Participants will learn how to analyze malware samples, understand the inner workings of exploit kits, and develop strategies for defending against these threats.

The course includes hands-on labs, real-world case studies, and tools commonly used by professionals in the field, such as debuggers, disassemblers, and network traffic analysis tools.

Certified Malware Analyst Course Syllabus

Module 1: Introduction to Advanced Malware Analysis

  • Overview of Malware Types and Behaviors:
    • Understanding different types of malware (viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware)
    • Advanced malware characteristics (polymorphism, metamorphism, obfuscation)
  • Setting Up a Malware Analysis Lab:
    • Safe environment setup (virtual machines, sandboxes)
    • Tools and software for malware analysis

Module 2: Static Analysis Techniques

  • Basic Static Analysis:
    • File fingerprinting and metadata analysis
    • Analyzing malware without executing it (hashing, strings extraction)
  • Advanced Static Analysis:
    • Disassembly and decompilation (using tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra)
    • Analyzing code structure and identifying functions
  • Analyzing Obfuscated and Packed Malware:
    • Techniques for unpacking and deobfuscation
    • Identifying common packing techniques

Module 3: Dynamic Analysis Techniques

  • Basic Dynamic Analysis:
    • Executing malware in a controlled environment
    • Monitoring system changes (file system, registry, processes)
  • Advanced Dynamic Analysis:
    • Debugging malware (using OllyDbg, x64dbg)
    • Network traffic analysis (using Wireshark, tcpdump)
    • Memory analysis techniques (using Volatility, Rekall)

Module 4: Introduction to Exploit Kits

  • Understanding Exploit Kits:
    • Definition and purpose of exploit kits
    • Common exploit kits (Angler, Neutrino, Blackhole)
